  • Its About Time North Fair Haven Railroad
    It’s About Time ALL ABOARD! In 1890, a resident or visitor could travel by train on the Lehigh Valley Railroad, Auburn Branch (formerly known as the Southern Central) from North Fair Haven, the northern terminus of the branch, to Fair Haven in three minutes. The traveler would board the train at the station just west and south of today’s Fair Haven Beach State Park property. In February of 1890, the train left North Fair Haven at 7:35 AM, arriving at the Fair Haven Station and leaving by 7:38 AM. The Fair Haven station was located on Main Street, Fair Haven, about where Giuseppe’s stands today. By 7:45 the train was to leave Sterling Station and by 7:53, the Martville station, located on what is now Queens Farms Road and Route 104. Via connecting trains, a traveler could be in Philadelphia by 7:17 PM or New York City by 7:55 PM, if the trains were on time. Along with passengers traveling south, large cans of fresh milk were taken along for the ride, to furnish the cities with the substance that was to grow strong bones and teeth. George I. Post Home, Railroad Station, Customs House and Telegraph office, North Fair Haven The track bed from Sayre, PA to North Fair Haven was completed in 1871 commencing in a big celebration. The line from North Fair Haven to Fair Haven was abandoned in 1937. The last train left from Fair Haven in 1953, though it was not a passenger train. Fair Haven Station Sterling Station, Hotel and Railroad Tower The following news clippings demonstrate some of the activities related to the Railroad and its importance to the area: “The Southern Central Excursion train to North Fair Haven this morning comprised 17 cars and 2 engines.” (Auburn News and Bulletin, Saturday, October 7, 1882) “Sunday, September 6th, a Lehigh Valley special train to North Fair Haven leaves Auburn at 6AM.
